Smashing Security podcast #448: The Kindle that got pwned

Think your Kindle is harmless? Think again! In this episode, we unpack a Black Hat Europe talk revealing how a boobytrapped audiobook could exploit the Amazon eBook reader - potentially letting an attacker break into your account and seize control of your credit card. Plus a blast from 2021's "summer of ransomware" returns to haunt Ireland's Health Service Executive, as victims are offered €750 each. And because it's the last show before the Christmas break, there's also a Pick of the Week that veers from cosy rom-com comfort to pointy-polygon nostalgia. All this and much more is discussed in the latest edition of the award-winning "Smashing Security" podcast with computer security veteran Graham Cluley, joined this week by special guest Danny Palmer.
